'Desistance therapy' is conversion therapy under another name. Elaine's thread here is essential reading as she details what it was like for her.

Endless love and solidarity to Elaine for sharing this difficult first-person account of conversion practices within the NHS. I have met a few people with similar stories, but all are extremely wary of speaking out due to the harm they experienced.

I've known Elaine for, I can't even fucking remember how many years now. A long time. I know this thread cost her a great deal and the events that happened inside cost much more.

The people responsible have names and addresses but not yet accountability.

So, about Eurovision.

Elaine Scattermoon Yup. There is some token dissent from RTVSLO which is worth an honourable mention and hopefully more behind the scenes. RTE got more complaints about Israeli participation than actual song submissions for Eurosong- you'd hope they said something-though they are falling apart atm.

I knew this but that's what I get for typing in a hurry, thank you!
